I had a great conversation with the wonderful @zackpolanski.bsky.social on his podcast. Do please listen in. I don't think you'll have heard anything quite like it. And there's a LOT more here than the title suggests. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

Just under 30 minutes, worth a listen :)

I would expect nothing else from these entitled parasites We need an elected second chamber NOW www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Global warming is the byproduct of the lavish lifestyles of the 1%

The appropriately named Enoch Burke sounds completely deranged. I hope he enjoys prison.

The courts are forcing a 6 year old girl to keep the name of the man who raped her mother. No survivor should face harm from the very system that is meant to protect them. No child should have to carry an abuser’s name. It’s time to change the system 👇 goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

"You just couldn’t trust refugees these days. Most of them initiated their own persecution and risked death to get here just because they wanted to stay in an asylum hotel in Essex where they could be abused by locals. That for them was living the dream. Well, there would be no more of that."

Releasing the Epstein Files, Nick Fuentes vs Daily Wire. ICE is coming to your town, Fetterman is falling down. Erika Kirk and JD Vance, Trump got in to Clinton’s pants. RFK brings back small pox, Peter Thiel sells AI stocks. We didn’t start the fire….

Coverage of the refugee proposals demonstrates why we have such a broken political system. Endless focus on left-wing anger and right-wing support. Basically nothing on whether the reforms will work. They will not, which is why we'll still be here having the same debate in three years.

A little humility and understanding goes a long way. "dismantling the myth that we live in a meritocracy ... is one of the most urgent changes needed in public life today."

From 2018, still extremely relevant. "I see such organisations [as the IEA] as insidious and corrupting. I see them as the means by which money comes to dominate public life, without having to declare its hand. I see them as representing everything that has gone wrong with our politics."

Big Ag joins Big Oil & Gas to make the compromising of the Climate COP process complete www.theguardian.com/environment/...

An open letter to the Chancellor: abandon this dangerous and damaging proposal. 53 academics of accounting and finance from UK universities explain why Rachel reeves should abandon the idea of new private finance for the NHS.

Private finance in the NHS has failed: it has diverted scarce resources away from patient care towards debt repayments. We're handing in our petition to the DoH tomorrow to demand that the Government doesn't repeat the same mistake. Take action with @simonforstroud.bsky.social vist.ly/4esvx

The govt's proposed new asylum laws are impractical, ineffectual, and outright cruel. Aping the rhetoric of Reform won't fix the real issues in this country; it will only stir up more false divisions and endanger already vulnerable communities.

Thames Water bidder offering £1bn extra cash injection. 30%+ of the customer bill covers interest payments. Any private owner would want profit, dividends, sewage dumping will continue, customers will be fleeced. Must end the profit motive. Nationalise water industry.

Gaza’s historical and cultural heritage has not been spared Israeli bombardment during Tel Aviv’s two-year war, with over 20,000 rare artifacts spanning from prehistoric eras to the Ottoman period missing and looted, Anadolu reports. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20251117-isr...

The government should be ashamed that its migration policies are being cheered on by Tommy Robinson and Reform. Instead of standing up to anti-migrant hate, this is laying the foundations for the far-right. I questioned the Home Secretary on how she can be proposing such obviously cruel policies.

Removing asylum support. Seizing belongings. Deporting entire families, including children. Labour are not just paving the path to a Reform government. Reform may as well already be in power. This government has no moral compass — and it should be ashamed of its inhumanity.

Our co-director @markcurtis30.bsky.social will speak at Goldsmiths (New Cross, London) this Wednesday: on how the UK media is covering up British foreign policy and how we build independent media. Free event 👇 www.gold.ac.uk/calendar/?id...

They won't stop treating brown people like animals, so they try to normalize it. Letting them get away with it is up to us. We can bring them to justice. #FreePalestine #GazaHolocaust

Wes Streeting says striking NHS staff are “holding patients to ransom”. Wrong! He’s the one holding patients and the NHS to ransom, by refusing to give doctors the pay and jobs they deserve. To all our dedicated healthcare workers: thank you for all you do. Solidarity!

Just four days of COP30 left If past COPs are anything to go by, they should be starting to panic about now, as they realise that they have nothing to put in their final communique

Before my Question Time appearance, there was an attempt to sabotage the movement we’re building. But the stakes are too high. With inequality rising, child poverty deepening, migrants under attack & an emboldened far-right, we must keep fighting. It’s socialism or barbarism.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Huge numbers of young people are out of work - but this govt simply doesn't have the answers. We need real solutions like a National Nature Service which @gndrising.bsky.social are calling for - to give young people good quality employment while restoring our natural world.

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one. It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution. This daughter of an immigrant is proud of our British and Labour values of respect and not turning our backs on people in real need.

Interesting question about why these MP's go round trying to cause arguments with camera people in tow. Maybe they imagine they're gritty rather than petty?

Six out of every seven children in Newport are classified as living in poverty. Lives destroyed - govts impose austerity, wage/benefit cuts, fiscal rules, deindustrialization, oppose redistribution of income/wealth. No party has poverty reduction target.
